拍卖会

The auction house estimated that the sales, planned for November and January, would bring in more than$ 500 million, placing it in the ranks of the Yves St. Laurent sale that raised$ 477 million in 2009 at Christie's in Paris.

苏富比计划在今年11月和明年1月举办这些藏品的拍卖会，预计拍卖总额会超过五亿美元，与伊夫·圣罗兰（Yves St.Laurent）的遗产拍卖会旗鼓相当，后者是佳士得拍卖行2009年在巴黎举办的，拍卖额达到4.77亿美元。

On Tuesday, Christie's sold 144m of art at its Impressionist and Modern sale in London, the highest ever amount for any European art auction.

上周二，在伦敦举行的印象派和现代派艺术品拍卖会上，佳士得（Christie）的成交总额为1.44亿英镑，这是欧洲艺术品拍卖会有史以来的最高成交额。

When the auction began, it wasn` t the kind of staid affair you might experience at Sotheby` s or Christie` s. Auctioneers and other workers shouted constantly.

当拍卖会开始时，你会发现它不同于那些古板的苏富比或佳士得拍卖会。拍卖人及其他工作人员不停地提高音量。
